Question #1

Submitted by: Lisa
Subject: Other

I think I may be an empathic vampire, I mean, I have all the signs, but I'd like confirmation from somebody who'd know for sure. Can you help me? If so, please e-mail me. Thank you!

Lisa

Greetings Lisa:

The only one that can tell you 100% for sure is you. The old adage "know thy self" is very true here. There are a number of factors that you need to consider, but since you are the one living within your own skin, you will be the one making the judgment based on what you are feeling. Consider these two things:

Do you "feel" what other are feeling? Meaning when you are around others, are your own emotional feelings subrogated and theirs pushed to the surface?

Do NEED to feed from energy sources outside of yourself in order to feel "normal"?

Since vampirism is the actual NEED for the additional energies just the ability to "feel" the emotions of others alone does not make one a Vampire. Many Empath’s and Psychic’s too have the ability to "feel" and they are not Vampires.

I suggest reading the various articles and information available on the Vampire Church website www.vampire-church.com and in the current and back issues of the monthly Vampire Church on-line Zine. In them you will find a wealth of information about the vampiric condition. The May zine has a really great article by Belfazaar Ashantison / Vampirism 101 - A BREAKDOWN ON REAL VAMPIRISM that I believe you will find most helpful.

I see that you have already signed up for the pubic e-list hosted by the Vampire Church http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VampireChurch

I also invite you to attend the public classes held twice weekly (Wednesday and Friday) on the mIRC Undernet on the #vampiretopics channel. The mIRC program can be downloaded at www.mirc.com It’s east to set up and use. All of these will give you additional information and help you learn more about and better understand vampirism.

Maybe I'm just an Empath, the reason I say that is because I don't believe I really feel a need to feed off of other's emotions. If I do it, I don't realize it. But I do know that I do feel other's emotions when I'm around them. I know when somebody is sad, or when there's something bothering them, with out them even speaking, even when they're trying to hide it.

Thank you for your suggestions and your input.

Lisa

I'm happy to hear that you welcome people like me. I've honestly never had a problem with people who are like all of you. To be even more honest about it, I've always admired them. I've kind been fascinated with it all for as long as I can remember.

I do believe I will take you up on your invitation. Thank you so much, you really don't know how much it means to me.

Question #2

Subject: Vampirism

Comment: I have been trying to search up on Vampire's religion. I haven't been able to turn up a name for it, and a lot of things I have come across, I don't know about... Could you please email me back and tell me what the religion is called and what the names of the god (or gods) that are worshiped and prayed to.... Thanks, Mike

Greetings Mike:

Let me do you a favor here and save you a lot of time & research effort.

There is no vampire religion.

Vampirism is a physical condition. We have an actual real affliction where we do not produce enough vital life force energy or "chi" in order to maintain a healthy balanced life. Therefore we need to seek that energy from outside sources by "feeding" from the other energies (either human or natural) around us. Vampires come in every race, creed & religion. We have vampires that are Catholic, Jewish, Baptists, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan, Wicca, atheist and a host of others among the general membership here at the Vampire Church.

BTW - the reason that we are called a "church" has nothing to do with religion. A church or sanctuary is a safe place or haven for all who enter. And that is what we are for the Vampire community. We tolerate no hostility or flaming and answer all questions on vampirism in an honest, open manner.

If you would like to learn more about vampirism, I suggest reading the various articles and information available on the Vampire Church website www.vampire-church and in the current and back issues of the monthly Vampire Church on-line Zine. In them you will find a wealth of information about the vampiric condition.

Question #3

Submitted by: Tina
Subject: Submission

Subject: Vampirism

Comment: What kind of vampires are there and what are the differences between them?

Thank you, Tina

Greetings Tina:

Good questions. Vampires do come in a variety of different types; however all of those types are only descriptive of our different energy gathering or feeding method / abilities. Other types may describe the type of energy focus that we have. What we all have in common is the actual physical NEED for vital life energies (chi) gathered from resources outside of our own bodies. Below I have listed a few of the different types of feeding method / abilities and the type of energy gathered by that method.

Elemental - gathers energy from the natural earth elements - earth / air /fire / water

Environmental - gathers energy from natural or man-made environments. Mountains or cities would be examples here.

Psi / Psy or Psychic - gathers ambient released Psi energies from human or animal sources.

Empathic - gathers energy through direct one on one contact with other humans (with permission of course).

Sanguinary - gathers energy from the blood of other humans (with permission). True blood feeding vampires are rather rare.

Pranic - gathers sexual energy from other humans (with permission).

Eclectic - gathers energy via all or several of the above sources.

In addition to these feeding methods vampires also come with a positive, neutral, or negative energy focus. Of these most vampires are positive or neutral, negative feeding is rare.

I suggest reading the various articles and information available on the Vampire Church website www.vampire-church and in the current and back issues of the monthly Vampire Church on-line Zine. In them you will find a wealth of information about the vampiric condition.

Question #4 - the name on this one has not been changes cause its on the open board.

Vampire Healing

General Vampirism Board 04/25/03

I am trying to discover new techniques for healing. I have created a new hypothesis that I am trying to validate. my thoughts are to extract energies from donors, and infuse them into subjects as a form of healing. I have asked an associate of the VC if this is possible.He replied in an e mail it might be possible. I would like your opinions on this. There are some weaknesses in this form of healing. It might be possible that the subject would suffer from the symptoms that vampires face, hopefuly this would be temporary.Also we don't know how the body of a normal human would react to this treatment. Another fear is that there are those who would use this to increase their own power levels. To this effect, we don't know exactly what would happen, and I am personaly a little uncomfortable with trying to supercharge the energy levels of a person, since the damage this would cause is unknown. If you can enlighten me or at the very least explain how this might or might not be possible, I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time,

demon's Winds

Interesting questions you have Demon’s Winds -

Got my old grey matter pumping - that’s for sure. It’s nice to see someone posting something other than the "do you have fangs - do you drink blood" type questions. Thank you.

It sounds as if perhaps you are touching upon maybe a vampiric form of Reiki Healing.

Reiki of course is the Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It is also is a form of hands-on energy healing. The Reiki healer receives a series of attunements to open him or her up to the Reiki energy.

My thoughts on your questions are this. The person receiving the healing energy from someone that is a vampire would not suffer the symptoms of the vampiric condition. Since vampirism is something one is born with, it is impossible to transmit it to someone via any method. Empathic vampires frequently make a one-on-one contact with their donor and in fact some cycle energies with their donor (the Empathic vampire providing the conduit for the cycling). This often leaves the donor with a relaxed well being feeling, VERY similar to the feeling one has after a Reiki session. The donor to the Empathic vampire does not feel any symptoms or effects of vampirism from such an energy cycling.

As for the how the individual would feel after a healing, that would I suppose be the responsibility of the healer. In Reiki training, in order to become a master, one goes through a number of levels of training. Each level is carefully orchestrated to give the healer time not only to become sensitive to the needs and energies of their patients, but also to develop control over the energies they are infusing to the patient. A typical Reiki healing is composed over the time of a number of treatments. The initial session is a rather weak infusion of healing energies, with the energy level gradually increasing in subsequent treatments. So unless the healer was completely uncontrolled, the patient would have able time to provide feedback to the healer on what they were experiencing.

Lastly, sadly this would be a method via some unscrupulous individual could use to increase their energies. It could be used to feed on the patient rather than heal, and in doing so cause the already ill patient to feel even weaker. We here at the Vampire Church would consider that type of behavior immoral. Vampires in general have the utmost respect for their donors and take energy from others only with their permission.

I invite you to sign-up for the pubic e-list hosted by the Vampire Church http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VampireChurch and to attend the public classes held twice weekly (Wednesday and Friday - 9PM EST) on the mIRC Undernet on the #vampiretopics channel.

Both the classes and the public e-list are open to vampires, black swans, and just folks wishing to learn more about the vampiric condition
